À propos de cet audio

 An extraordinary case for Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte opens when a police car is bombed from the air on a lonely outback road by a mysterious pilot who plans to conquer a nation. The trail through the Land of Burning Water tests Bony's endurance to the limit and takes the detective as close to death as he has ever been.©1940 William Upfield (P)1999 Bolinda Publishing Enquête policière Suspense Thrillers et romans à suspense Fiction Détective

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Written and set in rural Australia in the 1930s, Bushranger features Upfield's serial detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, whose task it is to stop murderous pilot Rex MacPherson from taking over his father's ranch. As Bonaparte dodges bombs and treks through miles of scrub, he is both helped and hindered by rival Aborigine tribes. Hosking has the requisite Aussie accent and the ability to differentiate characters as he narrates the story from dramatic opening to satisfying conclusion. Only the Aborigine pidgin seems demeaning in these politically correct times. Upfield admired the native Australians, but his condescending views led him to be banned from school curricula. Ironically, both the hero and villain here are half-castes." (AudioFile Magazine)

Question, does anyone know where I can find a copy of an Australian TV series from the 1970's called, Boney? It is based off of Author W, Upfields detective series that I have become a true fan of.

Bushranger of the Sky, is the latest title in Author W, Upfields, Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte series. 

Set in 1930-40s in the Australian wild country. This story, as many do, points to the social issues of racism. How horrible things have been done to an indigenous people. Only to be abused by foreign colonists. 

It also shows the character of people who do not see the color of skin, but just people's. What a few had done to love and protect the aboriginal community.

 Unlike many of Bony's investigations the "villain" was quickly identified. Normally this would men his job was done. Do to a tremendous threat and the love of a white man for his long dead aboriginal wife. Bony is compelled to be a policeman and bring the villain to justice 

 In this novel we see 2 half cast pit their will and skills against each other. Both shaped by the world that dose not know where they belong. 

Truly a great read. I fully recommend it. 

My deepest thanks to all from the author, to everyone involved in this audio production.
